Hi Timmy, Yes as you say, user error is by far the most likely factor and I suspect is even more relevant in my case than most! :-)
I tried back button focus too on a previous camera but never really got used to it although I may give it another whirl. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if my focus technique exacerbates the situation but I'm reasonably convinced that it's not the full story. If it was purely an issue of technique I would expect to see a mix of photos with some in focus (by luck) and some where the focus was either short or long (as I waved the camera about wildly mid-focus), however in my case the shift in the focal plain seems to be consistent in both direction and amount.
Lots of useful information over he last couple of pages and I look forward to exploring a bit more deeply - thank you.
